And one in particular that I'm really excited about is a new..... Ooooh don't actually know if I'...

I've done a quick layout using the lovely SIMPLE STORIES HAPPY DAYS. Using Bazzill Kraft card stock, splatter with Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist, then randomly drop embossing powder on and heat.  Cut a strip of patterned card stock and adhere, mount photo onto patterned card stock, cut out bunting from card stock and cut a couple of strips, adhere to backing and mount bunting on top, glimmer mist some wooden buttons and adhere to bunting, then make a flower from Burlap and place button in center, adhere and voila.... a very SIMPLE layout. Go on give it a try !! Marion xx

How clever is our Barb..... Look at this little guy, hanging on the side of the sleigh, all ready to be filled with christmas treats. Well done all you ladies that got on her Friday Class to make this little treat!! Marion xx

Here's a little sneak of the Flower classes coming up on the 20th November.... Sorry but they are both full, but if there's enough interest I may do it again :) What do you get if you start out with this.... Add a little magic ........ and TA DA !!!! you get this ... Soooo simple. Marion xx

Since we opened our doors some 8 years ago we were graced with the presence of the lovely Linda Pease. I'm so sorry to have to say that she passed away recently, after struggling with so many obstacles. She was a truly inspirational crafter and will be deeply missed by so many. We would like to pass on our deepest condolences to her husband, family and friends. Marion, Nina, Barbie, Barb, Adrienne and Megan xx
